aespa’s Giselle Impresses Netizens With Artistic Abilities and Mathematical Interpretation
An artwork of aespa’s Giselle and its mathematical interpretation has been discovered, impressing netizens
Recently, a Korean fan discovered a painting hung outside of her math class, which was created by Aeri Uchinaga (real name of aespa’s Giselle), and shared the painting for the world to view.
The painting, titled “Hexagonal Curve of Pursuit”, includes crisp lines and harmonious colors, forming a “hexagonal curve”. It also goes along with a mathematical interpretation, impressing fans and netizens alike.
In particular, the description of aespa’s Giselle’s painting is as follows:
“Hexagonal Curve of Pursuit, by Aeri Uchinaga
I based my artwork on the curves of pursuit. As the definition states, a curve of pursuit is a curve constructed by analogy to having a point representing pursuers and tracing them, as the pursuee is always on the pursuer’s tangent. Or easier to understand, a shape repeated within a shape numerous or infinite times using accurate mathematical calculations. I chose to use this as a base because not only is it a mathematical phenomenon, but aesthetically pleasing. When I first drew and looked at the curves of pursuit using a triangle as the shape, it reminded of spiritual drawings, such as mantras, or constellations. I took some inspiration from mantra drawings online, and painted a big hexagonal pursuit curve, and decided to interpret the mantra concept into my project by using colors, and dividing them into three.
I started the project off by using a marker and a meter ruler to draw the basic skeleton of
the hexagonal pursuit curve. It ended up taking more time than expected, but after that was finished, I attempted to paint over the lines with actual paint, but decided that was going to take too long. As a solution, I went straight into doing the colours, and covering the lines completely with the colour panels. Going for a halcyon vibe in my project, I chose three soft colours periwinkle, mint green, and light blue. In the core of the hexagon, I painted it all pure black, then working out to a grey, then eventually a purple colour. I used purple right after grey because it transitions more smoother than any other colour. Although the project is not yet finished, the fundamental idea of it, is that there is a collection of three smooth colours fitted into a hexagonal pursuit curve, to release a spiritually calming energy.
In my opinion, I think that my project is not quite similar to the works of other artists that I know of, in terms of the artwork itself, but the colors and the feeling of the piece can be alike to works done by different artists, such as Wassily Kandinsky. The way he used shapes and lines to create an outline of the painting, Vertiefte Regung (Deepened Impulse), and filled in each part of the shapes in different colours is similar to the method I used. The difference is that his piece has the background of a cosmic concept, while mine is more spiritual. His use of lines and shapes are also all circular or rounded on the edges, while mine are all straight direct lines.”
